Does anyone know anything about the Baymont Inn in Galveston?
We are planning on renting a car at the airport one way so we can sightsee the day before and then taking the shuttle when we get off the cruise ship back to Houston. Would this work??

Luanne,
Loved your virtual cruise review about the Conquest!! I can't wait until my cruise in September!
We are staying at SpringHill Suites in Houston/Hobby airport....free shuttle from airport and even to the ship's port in Galveston. and back to the hotel when you get back from the cruise! They have a Cruise/Shuttle Package....

Checked out you motel and it looks good. It is suppose to be a good distance from food, so be prepared for that, without a car to get any where. Also, I can find no sign of Cruise package. Web site says airport shuttle, and 5 mile radius from the motel. Please make sure you have a back up plan for getting to the port.

Thanks for the information..I did read you VT before we thought about going on the Conquest so now I will re-read it !! Hopeing the weather will be calm in September. Next week we leave on the Spirit for Alaska. Packing warm clothes is strange since it is 100 degrees here in Arizona.
Love to read all your post on Cruisemates.. I'll let you know how the Baymont Inn is. Price was $89/nite
Thanks, Grandy

We stayed at Baymont Inn and Suites in January! They had a special for $55/night and since we needed two rooms, we decided to try it. The rooms are very nice and fairly new. I think they said they opened in October of 2006. Each room has a balcony. They have a nice continental breakfast, too. They offer free cruise parking for your entire cruise, however, they don't offer a shuttle and since it is about a 15 minute taxi drive to the cruise terminal, we felt that next time we'll probably park at ezcruiseparking and take advantage of their online rate (and spend about as much as the taxi). There is a Walmart close by, which was nice for the last minute things we thought of that we had forgotten to bring.
